Answer 1

How about this

XDocument xmlDoc = XDocument.Parse(content);
var event_nodes = xmlDoc.Descendants("given-name");
foreach(var node in event_nodes)
{
    node.Name = "surname";
}
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(xmlDoc.ToString());

To add an attribute add the following in the for each:

XAttribute attribute = new XAttribute("Name","value");
node.Add(attribute)
